MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro OSX 12.5.1 Kernel Panic- GPU Issues?

[emilediaz]

Total newbie here:

I'm on an early 2009 Mac Pro 5.1 running OSX 12.5.1 with 2x3.46 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor and a Radeon RX 580 gfx card. Someone who knows a lot more than I do, created and configured this system for me and it has worked flawlessly for 4 years--until last week. I am having non-stop kernel panics (See attached crash report and ChatGPT analysis)

I can see the following in my utilities menu: Bless OpenCore 1.3. Clover Configurator 5.3.0.0. Radeon Gadget 0.3.1. That seems to indicate that this person manually did this install rather than use OCLP. (I am learning these things, slowly)

ChatGPT took a look at my crash report and in the final analysis said this:
"The root cause is almost certainly GPU patching on a MacPro5,1"

And suggesting this:
Step 1: Reduce GPU patching complexity (biggest win)
If you are using OpenCore:
* **Disable or simplify Shiki flags**

ChatGPT is also advising I use OCLP rather than do it manually. It's also telling me to remove certain boot args. (I've been looking it up as to how to do that)

Can anyone help? I need this machine daily for work and I am in a severe crisis.

Blessings to anyone who responds. Remember, when posting, I am a newbie.

Thank you,

ED

A crash dump that have unresponsive dispatch queue(s): com.apple.firehose.io-wl is a hardware related KP, not a software one. Even when is a software that is causing it, is hardware related, like when you have 12 disks and SoftRAID crashes at reboot (11 disks run perfectly, 12 crashes SoftRAID).

Check the northbridge push-pins, inspect the memory slots, replace the RTC battery, clean the Mac Pro - do all the required maintenance and then run AHT/ASD.

Forget ChatGPT mumbo jumbo.

Thank you. I'm on it.
